How to train your dog to walk on a leash

Long walks with your dog or dog walking is great exercise, and a great way to increase your bond with your dog. However, it can sometimes be difficult to know who is walking whom.

Teach your dog to walk politely on a leash is the first step in creating a lifetime of good exercise and fun.
 
Equipment needed:

Collar: Collar:
Chain Necklace: Also called training collar or choke chain, press only when given a correction, should be covered by the neck so it hangs, do not pull the dog out there with this type of necklace is only for giving short corrections to attract attention, then quickly release the bulk of the chain, never leave the dog tied to a leash correction.
 
Correa:
Leather or cotton, easy to hold, check with each use for signs of wear or deformation
Chain: Can not use with ease, but has the benefit that you can not chew, never turn his hand to the chain as if the dog suddenly pulls this can cause injury.
 
Rewards: should be small, easy to eat, and exciting. It is used to reward your dog and are great ways to encourage your dog happy and participation in the training process.
 
The instructors recommended a six-foot leash so you can teach your dog commands to a short distance. However, when walking, if you give your dog full six feet, which will go to the end and will be much harder to control.  If you use a long leash, just enough to miss out on your dog to walk comfortably in your hand.


Basic Tips

A dog handler, may help you get started if you are not an experienced coach. Take time to walk every day and order the training sessions for a couple of weeks. Sea constante.
Be consistent.
If a dog has been tied to a string, is likely to pull because he is used to pull a cadena. A belt is just another string to it and must be presented to him properly.
 
A dog that runs through the front door and then dragged along the road you think you are in charge. Instruct your dog to sit before opening the door, and have your dog sit until you let go, and then output. You go first, since you are the leader of the family.
 
Training:

Cubs

Use a slight buckle on the collar of the puppy. Start by letting you drag the leash around the house for a few minutes. He will get used to the weight of the belt and put some pressure on his neck. Occasionally lift the end of the leash and wait. You will discover that pulling is not going to release the belt and the pressure it exerts.  
The first time you hold the leash, puppies may become angry and agitated. 

This is rapidly changing. Reward him when he settles down. Tell them that this is a fun game, and will soon be wagging his tail and ready for more. Take advantage of the fact that the pups are everywhere. Until about four months are going to want to spend all his time to his side. After that, begin to test and explore a bit more.

Start early to build good training ground for when he becomes a teenager. When ready to effectively direct your puppy, start with a pocket full of candy and walk just a few steps. Encourage him, and crouch to their level if necessary. It can be very large and can be scary if it is a small puppy. Stop and reward him whenever he is on your side with a loose belt. When pulled forward, let stand until just see why not follow him. Then call him a happy voice and reward him for coming, and then begins to walk a few steps. Very soon you will discover that gets lots of treats and praise when your side. . Remember, no more than five minutes away. That the training session as fun as playing time.
 
Adult Education
 
An adult dog with a history of pulling require more time to learn not to throw. It takes about 6 weeks to form a new habit and extinguish the old.  About 4-5 weeks in the training cycle in any doggy day care center, it is common to forget everything you've been working.
 
Remember that consistency is key. Enrolling in a dog training class will give you a very good idea to start, but if the lessons learned in class are not reinforced or made at home, then really learn very little.
Keep training sessions lively and fun. Giving rewards and praise causes more rapid results than yelling or punishment.
Change direction, speed, and focus on keeping your dog interested and learn to listen.
